While the Conservatives continue to ignore Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet, New Democrats will be fanning out across the country on Saturday to talk with Canadians about the NDP plan to make life more affordable.

“In communities right across the country, people will be talking with theirneighbours about real solutions to help Canadians,” said NDP Leader TomMulcair. “It just doesn’t make any sense that while family budgets arestretched to the breaking point, the Conservatives continue to sit on theirhands.”

Over 15,000 Canadians have already joined the NDP campaign to make life moreaffordable. The Conservatives have rejected NDP proposals to ease the burden onfamilies and also voted against an NDP motion to cap ATM fees.

“The Conservatives talk a good game but have failed to address skyrocketing gasprices, exorbitant interest rates or unfair ATM fees,” said NDP ConsumerAffairs critic Glenn Thibeault (Sudbury). “Making life more affordable forCanadian families is a priority for New Democrats and we’re taking action tomake it happen.”
